Lily of Killarney 1919O'Mara Grand Opera Company

It seems strange that The Lily should be so much less popular than either Maritana or Bohemian Girl. However it really was not given with any great frequency, and after the war ended it almost disappeared. Yet the company's top singers are here out in force, so they may well have regarded it with affection.

Cast details are from a programme in the Gardiner collection at the Mitchell Library.
